It is not rare for former players to show up to wish the team good luck and potentially help coach up the guys on the team. However, there have been plenty of rumors regarding Donald either ending his retirement or heading into coaching.
Further reports showcased Donald speaking to Rams general manager Les Snead. Though the pair could be simply chatting and catching up, this could lead to more fruitful conversations.

Donald played all 10 seasons with the Rams and was a monster pass rusher. He set a career high of 20.5 sacks in 2018 and put together a career of 111.0 sacks through those 10 seasons.
Donald also secured three Defensive Player of the Year nods, 10 Pro Bowl nods, and eight First-team All-Pro nods. He should be an easy first-ballot Hall of Famer as well.
Though there have been rumors that Donald could end his retirement, that might not be the case. It would be more plausible that he would instead want to come over and help to coach the defense to some degree.
Either way, the Rams getting a visit from their former defensive legend was sure to fire up the team.
The Rams surprised everyone in 2024 when they were viewed as a “rebuilding” team. Despite the rough start of 1-4, the team would rifle off a 5-1 record in the final six games of the regular season.
Matthew Stafford played a wonderful season despite also having to deal with a severely injured offensive line. The Rams would make it to the postseason and handily beat the then-red-hot Minnesota Vikings in the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
Sadly, Los Angeles’ postseason berth was cut short when they lost in the Divisional Round to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Things are looking up for the Rams, and the team was able to land star wide receiver Davante Adams in free agency. Also, Jared Verse is one of the most dynamic defensive players in the league and has been spending time with Donald.
The pair could link up even more should Donald stick around for more time with the team.
